1 juvenile Golden Eagle (金雕) was photoed at Tianjilongmen scene area (天脊龙门景区), Quzhou by local birder Hezhong Wang. It was regarded as the most surprising record for Zhejiang in the year 2017, as Golden Eagle had been missing for nearly 40 years in Zhejiang!

[MEGA] 1 (or 2) Bonin Petrel (白额圆尾鹱) was picked up at Luqiao Airport, Taizhou after Tropical Storm Khanun, but assumed to be eaten (sad news…) and lack of further information. As a seabird, Bonin Petrel rarely visits the land, so unsurprisingly this is the first record for Zhejiang.

[MEGA] 1 Silver-backed Needletail (灰喉针尾雨燕) was observed with a group of White-throated Needletail at Yesheng Forest Farm, Wencheng, Wenzhou (Guanghui Chen et al.). The first for Zhejiang.
